List 359

Anne Marie and I had an excellent holiday in Ireland and Greece, mixed with a few days scouting books in London during book fair week. Our efforts were rewarded with a few outstanding items which will be making their appearance in our next rare maritime list, due in a month or so. Meanwhile, here’s one of our occasional off-topic lists, courtesy of the White Whale which, though she still reposes in my driveway, is emptying fast. In List 359 you will find a mix of literature, art, travel, and history. Nothing too fancy, just interesting books in good condition. So have at them, folks!

NB: We rely on email orders, which are time-stamped and can be processed fairly, in order of receipt.
